If your appraisal comes in low, your lender will still provide you with the loan. However, they will only issue it typically in the amount of the existing loan to value times the appraised value.

If you are going to finance 80% of $1 million and the appraisal comes in at $950k, the lender will only give you a loan in the amount of 80% x $950k. This creates a shortfall in terms of the money you'll need to close.

Under a traditional mortgage contingency, a low appraisal will give you a potential out to cancel the deal and recover your deposit. If you want to stay in the deal, you may be able to renegotiate the purchase price with the seller. Alternatively, you could just apply with two lenders. That gives you two appraisals and therefore two chances to have an appraisal come in at the contract price.
